Jefferson Airplane

In November 1966, just before their iconic album "Surrealistic Pillow" was released in February 1967, Jefferson Airplane delivered a powerful performance at Whisky A Go Go in West Hollywood. This live recording of 'Come Back Baby' showcases the band's burgeoning sound, capturing the essence of the San Francisco music scene. It’s fascinating to note that this was a pivotal moment for the group, as 'Surrealistic Pillow' would not only cement their place in rock history but also include hits like 'Somebody to Love' and 'White Rabbit.' At this time, the band was rapidly evolving, blending their signature folk-rock style with experimental elements, which would define the psychedelic era. They were really at the peak of their creativity, and this performance radiates the energy and innovation that would become synonymous with their legacy.
